A Swedish app platform, built so teams can stop rebuilding the backend.
Vault56 is built and operated from Sweden, hosted in the EU, and intentionally independent of US corporations for core backend delivery. It exists so product teams can spend their time on the parts of an app people actually see.
The same backend, over and over.
Almost every product team rebuilds the same backend. Schema work, endpoint design, auth rules, file handling, approvals, sync logic, operational setup — months of effort before the product anyone uses gets real attention.
We started Vault56 because that pattern keeps happening, even at teams who know better. The backend is essential and unavoidable, but it's rarely the part of the product that wins. The interface is.
Vault56 is the platform we wanted to use ourselves. APIs, storage, workflows, permissions, and operations as platform behavior — so what's left is the experience people actually touch.
And — because where a platform lives matters — Vault56 is Swedish, EU-based, and independent of US corporations for core delivery. That's not branding; it's how the platform is built.
Three commitments
the platform is built on.
Independence by construction
Built from Sweden, hosted in the EU, with no US company dependency in the core platform foundation. That decision shapes everything downstream, vendor choices, data paths, operational defaults.
Platform over plumbing
Backend work should be platform behavior, not custom engineering on every team. The closer that line moves, the more time goes into product and the less into reinventing the same primitives.
AI is optional, never required
AI Builder can accelerate the first draft of a backend. It is an accelerator, not a dependency. The core platform stays independent of the AI features that sit on top of it.
Halmstad, Sweden.
The team, the engineering, and the platform itself are based in Sweden. Infrastructure runs in the EU. Operational independence is intentional and permanent, not a marketing label.
